Observance Days

Observance days in India are recognized but not considered official public holidays. These days commemorate specific events, causes, or historical figures and may be celebrated by particular groups or communities.

Examples of observance days in India include Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, and Mother’s Day, as well as significant cultural or historical dates like National Science Day and World Environment Day. While not all businesses or institutions close on these days, observance days offer an opportunity to raise awareness and honor causes or individuals that have made a significant impact on society.
